Tides Foundation has initiated two efforts to support timely and critical peace and justice work.
Iraq Peace Fund
The Iraq Peace Fund, a short-term grantmaking effort, made grants to organizations working to organize and elevate the voices of peace and justice in response to the Bush administration's intention to attack Iraq. More>>
Democratic Justice Fund
The Democratic Justice Fund was launched by Tides Foundation, in collaboration with The Open Society Institute and other institutional and individual donors, to address three primary areas -- Protecting the civil liberties of all Americans; Supporting immigrant rights with a particular focus on strengthening the capacity of Arab, Muslim, South Asian and Sikh organizations; and Promoting alternative media voices that can frame the complex political, social and economic history informing today's international crises and expanding their influence on mainstream media.
The Democratic Justice Fund is the successor to the Tides 9/11 Fund-our rapid response effort that raised and distributed more than $600,000 to assist the working poor, help rebuild communities, and promote a just and peaceful national response in the immediate wake of September 11, 2001. More>>
